GEORGE BENSON “White Rabbit” PROMO CTI w/ Herbie Hancock & Ron Carter MINT Play

Description: White Rabbit is an album by George Benson. The title track is a cover of the famous Jefferson Airplane song by Grace Slick.This album was George Benson's second CTI Records project produced by Creed Taylor and was recorded nine months after Beyond the Blue Horizon. The original 1971 LP cover was designed by Bob Ciano and features Pete Turner's picture of Pondo tribeswoman that he photographed in South Africa in 1970. George Benson recognized in his autobiography in 2014 that the fact that Creed Taylor didn't put his photo on the cover was a factor that played to the success of this album. Unplayed and stored. GORGEOUS glossy cover. Minor corner bumps from shelf storage. Promo gold stamp on front. Do NOT let this one pass. A perfect gift for any George Benson, CTI, Rin Carter Earl Klugh or Herbie Hancock fan! Vinyl grade: NM- Cover grade: VG+ ……………………………………………………………… ALL Unsealed Records were Ultrasonically cleaned using my Kirmuss Audio KA-RC-1 Ultrasonic Record Cleaner. PLEASE SEE THE BELOW explanation for my grading scale to understand how I assess the quality of my vinyl LP collection. I use a combination of the industry standard Goldmine Grading Scale as well as a 1-10 scale to ensure a clear and accurate account of each album’s condition. Cover/Sleeve Grading applies to OUTER SLEEVE ONLY. If the original Inner sleeve is included it will be shown in the photos. Please ask any additional questions regarding inner sleeve or album condition BEFORE purchase! I am not a professional grader and strive to evaluate the item according to my 60 years as an audiophile collector. THE SCALE IS AS FOLLOWS: VINYL: 9) NEAR MINT (NM OR M-) A good description of a NM record is “it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time.” In other words, it’s nearly perfect. Many dealers won’t use a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record or sleeve is ever truly perfect. NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must be absent; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; COVERS: 9) NEAR MINT (NM), Looks as if it just came from a store and was opened for the first time, maybe played a few times if ever, no evidence of play or wear whatsoever. Very minor corner “bumps” due to shelf or box storage. 8) VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint. All LP’s have been stored in Acid-Free, Anti-Dust, Vinyl Record Jacket/LP Outer Sleeves. All vinyl have been protected with Archival, Static-Free, Audiophile Quality Inner Sleeves. I do NOT collect or sell anything that is less than these grades! My collection is audiophile quality. It is all premium quality and does not compare to the garage sale beaters that are plentiful on Marketplace. All vinyl were handled with cotton gloves to avoid fingerprint oil and most played once or twice and transferred to Studer A800 reel to reel recording deck since in 1978 or WAV recording on a Windows computer via a Audio-Technica AT-ML180 PC-OCC with Gold-Plated Boron Pipe Cantilever and MicroLine style mounted on a The Linn Sondek LP12 turntable. See my other listings for my large family estate sale of collectibles, sports memorabilia, audiophile vinyl LPs & CDs, signed books from major celebrities & world figures and vintage toys. All proceeds go to charity. This has been in storage for 40+ years, time to pass it on so it can be enjoyed by somebody else. See pics for all condition or details. All of my items come from a smoke and pet free environment. They are stored in a dry clean location. Most items are vintage and I will do my best to note any flaws in the description. No returns, ask questions re: condition here, on EBay. Thanks!
